Fleetwood, Lancashire. At 4.55 on the afternoon of the 7th of December, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that an angler, while fishing from the beach at Rossall Point, had seen a light being flashed from an open motor boat. The life- boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched at 5.10 in a rough sea. There was a gentle, south-westerly wind and a flood tide. The life-boat found the motor boat, which had six men on board, in broken water three quarters of a mile south of King Scar buoy. She was in a dangerous position, her engines had broken down, and she was dragging her anchor. The life-boat succeeded with some difficulty in towing her through shallow water to Fleetwood, which was reached at 7.10. The rescued men sent a letter of appreciation and a donation to the Institution's funds. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 12s..
